The famous Manly to Spit Hike

I know this is the exam season, but just to let you guys know, i'll be hiking up in Manly next Sunday (10th June). This is pending on good weather and if i don't haven anything up. If the weather is good, i'll be going regardless if anyone bothers to tag along. I'll be watching the future forecasts, watch this space.

It costs $4.50, i think..or is it $9, for a ferry ride to Manly. Then we'll walk for about 9.5km to the spit, which will take 4 hours of straight walking. 8-10km isn't much, but the path isn't flat and there will be steep hills that should really tire you and kick up cramps by the end of the journey. Shahbandar is a 4-5km walk.. so it's just like that, but double the distance.

In return for the bloody long and tiring walk, you will be rewarded with some of the most beautiful views of the harbour and a few picture perfect locations. at 90% of the way, we'll come across the beautiful Clontarf beach to rest and dip before finishing all the way. so bring swimmers along.

Then its a brown click back to the City and we'll arrive at the city at QVB and up to you how you want to soak the time as the day ends.

I'll brief more if it's confirmed (both weather and my plans, point of view). here are a few pictures from Faiq and my walk in Manly just a year ago.

This is a site of our first check point, 5km hike.
